Project Description
Introduction
We designed a Precast Factory, a first in Pakistan. We are also working on preparation of foundation drawings of column and beam beds along with erection and production drawings with bar bending schedules, erection material lists and reports; and helping our client to achieve their vision of becoming the pioneers of Precast technology in the Pakistan region. To attain this vision, we are working beyond our scope of work as pre-defined in the endeavour to make Precast Structures more accessible in this region.
Challenges
Since client is in the process of setting up their first venture in Precast Concrete Structures and the industry in general, they need our constant support.
Reduction of construction cost of shed, as this is the first ever precast project in Pakistan.
Creating marketing strategies and campaigns for a region that is being introduced to Precast Structures.
Vast area of the factory, spread over 180mx20m, utilising 4x150m Hollow Core Slab beds and 2x120m Column and Beam beds requiring very heavy pre-stresses.
Solutions
From the moment we signed up for this assignment, we knew it was going to go beyond our scope of work and with clients’s vision in sight; we were up for it. We appointed a single point of contact and dedicated an exclusive team. With weekly and fortnightly review meetings, we could achieve the set targets in a stepwise manner. The reduction of grapevines helped us in almost no miscommunication and smooth flow of operations. With our approach to “Value Engineering,” we have reduced the construction cost of the shed with precast structures compared with a PEB shed.
What NXB provided? Why client choose NXB over other companies?
We appointed a single point of contact and an exclusively dedicated team of engineers for this project who work relentlessly through digital mediums and use cloud platforms for creation of drawings. We helped to reduce cost of construction of Precast Factory Shed. The involvement of the team from the conceptualization stage of the project helped in reducing the dependability on the client, thus saving valuable time for completion of the project.
